My apologies, I was responding to the post by Gary S and did not pay sufficient attention to Karl N’s earlier comment about how he uses ApolloOne alongside Nitro. Since my own use of ApolloOne has been relatively limited, I should have been more careful.
ApolloOne is for a very different audience than Nitro. In my experience, ApolloOne is a very fast and effective viewer with decent file management and (more recently) a very basic quick edit functionality. My wife uses it solely to view my images in a shared folder on our shared Mac. It does not compare well with Nitro largely because it does not play on the same field so to speak, with none of the advanced raw editing functionality and no interface with Apple Photos. If someone already has Nitro (or Raw Power), I see little value in having ApolloOne as well but for what it does do, it does well.
One of my reasons for wanting to save baked in edits in addition to the originals with non destructive edits comes from past experience. In moving from ACDSEE on Windows to Aperture and then LR on Mac and then to On1 Photo Raw (with potential move to Nitro and Photos in the works), the “non-destructiveness” of my edits was lost with each and every change of software, with most of those changes being driven by other factors.
Nik, any likelihood that the Raw Power features you mention above will be brought into Nitro in the near future?
Thanks Nik, yes, that’s what I’m seeing too, although it wasn’t until you mentioned it that I saw the link to the sequencing of the two export functions.
Even the default color tag functionality as available in ApolloOne (I am using Ventura) would be better than not having tags at all. If I tag an image using a default color label in ApolloOne, the tag is functional in Finder and also in other photo apps such as Affinity and On1 Photo Raw.
ApolloOne does permit changing label names to make them the same as custom labels from Finder but most other photo apps only accept the default color labels so custom labels are not that useful anyway in the context of photo browsers.
